Super God-Level Top Student

The camera switched to the handwritten test questions; although it was only because of time constraints and the shot was brief, if you're interested in subjecting yourself to the pain, you can press the pause button to see the original appearance of the test questions.

...

Of course, when it comes to interviewing these students at the school, there is still a lot of skepticism about how credible it is.

After all, for the institute, it's too easy to put pressure on students.

Even though these students appear natural in front of the camera, both in expression and speech, with no obvious signs of acting, who's to say they aren't just good actors?

However, at this moment, a Weibo post from Yu Hongwei once again blew up the internet.

"I'm very happy to have reached a preliminary cooperation intent with the project team led by Qiao Ze, a student from Westwood University of Technology Mathematics Institute. I won't say much more, this powerful collaboration can only lead to one result, and that is we're once again far ahead!"

"And I can tell everyone with certainty, with the assistance of Qiao Ze's achievements, this time our lead won't be just over our peers. Cherish it, this might be the last time I mention Apple because once we have incorporated this technology, I think even Apple will no longer be able to compete with us.

"So next time, I may not deign to say 'far ahead.' Instead, I might say, 'how lonely it is to be invincible!'"

Yu Hongwei is known for being outspoken.

Even many people think that his bragging is baseless.

But one has to admit, over the past decade, every boastful claim this man has made has come true.

So today's Weibo post truly left countless followers dumbfounded.

The school might be able to pressure students into saying insincere things, but the idea that Xilin University of Technology officials could pressure Yu Hongwei to make such boastful comments is something that normal people find hard to believe.

Not to mention that Yu, who rarely appears in the comment section, actually responded to a fan's comment.

"Yu, are you kidnapped by the school? If yes, just send a code, and we'll call the police to rescue you!"

"Haha, don't worry, I'm fine! I wish I could be kidnapped so at least someone would talk to me, but they just ignore me outright!"

Accompanying this was a selfie, in which Yu's face is shown with two rows of computers behind him and five people sitting there. Unfortunately, you can't make out the faces of the people behind Yu, either obscured by monitors or only the back of their heads visible.

Only a very young girl was partly visible, leaning over half of her body, stretching her head in front of another monitor and caught in a snapshot showing half of her fair and delicate profile.

But that's about it.

The information revealed is indeed scant.

But actually, this was enough.

Imperceptibly, the online public opinion environment began to shift...

"Fuck... So you're saying, there's really a high school student whose level has reached that of publishing in top journals?"

"The professor must have contributed a lot, right?"

"Latest news, someone has dug up that Qiao Ze, who is just an ordinary student from Xingcheng Tie Gao High School, comes from a rather poor family, with a mother working as a supermarket cashier, definitely not like the rumors that he's the child of XXX academician."

"I knew it, if he was really an academician's child, shouldn't he be at Huaqing Yanbei? How could he possibly go to Xilin University of Technology."

"But if he's really that strong, shouldn't he have been selected by Huaqing, Yanbei? Why go to Xilin University of Technology?"

"A former classmate of Qiao Ze's speaks up. Let me tell you, this guy was famous in our school, just ask anyone in Tie Gao High School about this name, and all you'll get is 'crazy!' If you haven't met him, you wouldn't know how weird he is! There was news at the end of May that he was admitted to University of Technology ahead of schedule, and it became the biggest news in the school at that time.

Nobody realized he was a genius then! He just seemed to speak nonsense all the time and would often skip class!"

"Fuck! Is this really happening? Any other Tie Gao students here to verify this?"

"I'm from Tie Gao, here's my student ID, I was in class next to Qiao Ze's. I confirm what the original poster said is true. To add, when Qiao Ze was in senior year two, he was often punished by the math teacher to stand outside the class! I've seen it several times when I went to the bathroom after class! If you don't believe me, welcome to verify at Tie Gao!"

For a time, Qiao Ze's name replaced Xilin University of Technology and began to climb the hot search rankings on the internet.

...

The biggest characteristic of the internet age is probably connectivity.

Even events occurring thousands of miles away cannot avoid impacting the simple life of an ordinary mother.

In the afternoon, while taking advantage of the few customers to tidy up the shelves, Lu Xiuxiu suddenly heard the cashier's surprised greeting, "Lu, Lu, your son has become famous, he's on the hot search!"

"Ah?" Lu Xiuxiu, holding a drink, subconsciously shuddered, almost dropping it to the floor, and turned around urgently, asking in haste, "What does it mean to be on the hot search? Qiao Ze didn't cause trouble, did he?"

"Lu, don't worry, it's good news! It says on the internet that your son Qiao Ze wrote a very impressive article and sent it abroad. Not only that, but he also made something, and even Youwei Group wants to buy it! Lu, you're going to be rich, just enjoy a life of ease at home."

"Ah? Really?" Lu Xiuxiu quickly arranged the drinks and walked briskly to the cashier, saying, "Let me see, what are they saying on the internet?"

"Here..."

No sooner had the young girl handed over her phone to Lu Xiuxiu than Lu Xiuxiu's own phone started to ring.

One hand holding the young girl's phone, she glanced over the internet content, and with her other hand, she pulled out her own phone from her pocket, and upon seeing that the call was from Professor Li, she hurriedly returned the other phone and then answered Li Jiangao's call.

"Hello, Professor Li, nice to hear from you."

"Ms. Lu, hello, hello. The thing is, because Qiao Ze has recently achieved some accomplishments, he was exposed on the internet, so I thought I'd give you a heads-up. Qiao Ze is doing quite well, just that he's busier with his studies, so he hasn't been in touch with you that much."

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as the child is studying well."

"No, no, no, actually Qiao Ze has been missing you. We've talked about it before, and he wants you to come over here sooner. So I just had a call with Teacher Yu and he's almost done with his work in Xingcheng as well. I made arrangements with him, and he's probably going to pick you up the day after tomorrow, then come to the university here together, is that okay with you?"

"Ah? That soon? Well, I'll speak to Boss Xiao today, it should be fine."

"Great, great, great, and one more thing, you don't need to bring anything, the university will take care of all your daily needs. Just bring a few clothes to change into. And there's something else I should mention in advance, don't get too excited."

"Oh, tell me, I can handle it."

"Good news, the project that Qiao Ze has been working on caught the interest of a large corporation. The value of this project is hard to estimate at the moment, as it hasn't been tested in the market.

But let's just say, even in the least optimistic scenario, the profits Qiao Ze could get from this project would allow him—and you, even your entire family—to live a very prosperous life, so you really don't need to worry about the past anymore."

"Ah?! This..."

"Alright, I have some things to deal with over here, Ms. Lu, we'll talk more in detail once you're here."

"Okay, thank you then, Professor Li, go ahead with your work!"

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiuxiu was somewhat dazed.

It hasn't been that long, what on earth has the child done?

...

On the other side, Li Jiangao turned his head and caught Qiao Ze looking at him, couldn't help but smile, and said, "By the way, you read the letter from the 'Duke Mathematical Journal' too, right? How about I reply to it?"

Qiao Ze nodded.

He could feel that Uncle Li was becoming more confident by the day, which was great.

"Yeah, and by the way, how about I send them the watermark you showed me last time to the editor of 'Duke Mathematical Journal'? He would never have thought it could be proved this way," Li Jiangao said with a laugh.

"That works," Qiao Ze replied simply.
